Accessibility at Keyboardtest
Updated
Keyboardtest aims to make diagnostic tools and their explanations usable with keyboard navigation, zoom and assistive technology. This is a description of our approach, not a certification of WCAG conformance or a claim that every browser and screen reader combination has passed an audit.
Reading and navigation
Pages use headings, navigation links and labeled controls. Text guidance and related tools are available independently of live diagnostic results. Wide keyboard layouts can scroll horizontally on small screens so key labels remain readable. Use the browser's zoom controls if you need larger text.
Keyboard testing and assistive technology
A diagnostic listens to keyboard events that reach the page. Screen readers, operating-system shortcuts, input methods and accessibility settings may consume or transform those events. A key absent from the tester in that situation is not evidence that the physical key is broken.
Use a tool's pause or stop control where available before navigating away from an active test. Tab is intended for focus navigation. If a tool interferes with your navigation, leave the test and report the page and key sequence rather than changing accessibility settings you rely on.
Alternative observations
Compare the event text and counters with the visual keyboard. To test physical input on a phone or tablet, connect an external keyboard; a touchscreen keyboard does not provide equivalent evidence. The methodology explains these limits.
Report a barrier
Email keyboardtest.tech@gmail.com with the page URL, browser, operating system, assistive technology and what you were trying to do. Include the point where focus, a label or a result became unclear. We do not publish a guaranteed remediation deadline.
